I haven’t watched TV in years and rarely click on videos here, but thought I’d “Suck It Up and Salute” for a change.

I couldn’t hear anything the fool was saying because I couldn’t stop looking and marveling at that distracting appearing/disappearing “Lean Forward” tagline being painted at the right top of the screen every few seconds.

Annnnd then Chris blew it right at the end, slamming Obama’s critics by creating the false equivalence of “If you don’t like the way Obama did it, show me how you would bring Bergdahl back,” as if that was ever the question.

Nice try, Chris, but you’re still a shill. Some deals should never be made.

He sounds a bit like a scorned lover. Or someone who just realized the koolaid was actually anifreeze. what really makes him mad is that hes been played the fool over and over and over again and after so many years of playing the fool, where do you go from there? tsk, tsk, tsk.

Couldn’t bring myself to watch it. Matthews one of the most repulsive, destructive, dishonest people on TV.

I hear through the grapevine that Bergdahl did a lot more than collaborate. He may have led operations.

Apparently his defense is going to be that he was raped into it, which might be true.

Judging by his parents, I’m sure he thought the Taliban were just patriots fighting to eject the occupiers. It’s like the dozen or so peace activists who went to Iraq and were immediately murdered by al Qaeda.

One of them put out five or six videos pleading for his release. Billy Connolly nailed.

“Am I the only one thinking, ‘Get on with it?’” he asked to many boos.

They eventually separated the guy from his noggin, so he stopped recording videos.

I agree with his ONE point about radical Islamic Taliban dudes getting released being bad news. But I disagreed with his finishing line about us partisans explaining how we should get this piece of crud back. And I didn’t here the other TEN or FIFTEEN negative things about this whole mess that he could have talked about.

He acts like this is the best obama could do because we’re just at the mercy of that nasty old taliban. Matthews dares the parties to come up with a less disgusting trade, as if such a task is impossible. No, I do not almost entirely agree with Chris Matthews. What moron would?

Here’s one: President Obama’s crew claimed responsibility for tracking down Osama bin Laden. If he’s able to track down our worst enemy, certainly that same technology is capable of tracking down one of our own, without handing over five of the worst terrorists in Guantanamo.

I’ve known Matthews as a complete hypocrite for 20 years or so, I don’t need any more proof.

And I don’t give credit to media people who are suddenly seeing Obama’s incompetence and poor judgment NOW, after the clown was elected twice and won’t be on a ballot again. They are part of the problem.

If Matthews truly wishes to do penance for the damage he has helped to inflict upon America, I suggest he hie to a monastery where they take a vow of silence, and stay there a decade or two.

I must apologize for being somewhat blasphemous here, when it comes to Herr Matthews and his behavior, et consortes, in the past, but here it comes ; “Blessed are the simple-minded, thy
they not recognize their own simple-mindenness”

But to be fair-minded to him, at least, now for this moment, he seems to use his own brain, at least somewhat. Let us hope he starts to use it more and more in the future.

Perhaps “Hopenchange,” with all its scandals of late with legs, has become too much even for Tingles to bear. Courtesy of this week’s events, cracks in the foundation, spawned earlier, may have extended beyond repair.

Think about it: A low-fo zombie blindly giving N0bama a pass till now would be hard-pressed to continue doing so upon learning of the facts surrounding Bergdahl’s release. These facts are escaping the black hole. To understand why, see earlier cracks.

Harry Reid understands. This is why he spewed his otherwise inconceivable rhetoric about being “glad we’re rid of” these Taliban leaders now formerly of Gitmo’s zip code. He was playing to the low-fo’s, hoping their distant, unattached monitoring of hard news would somehow interpret the sound byte as meaning we’re better off without these bad guys. We who pay attention know better, of course.

Dems’ internal polling must be downright frightening to them.

I was telling a friend, earlier this week, that I no longer really give a you-know-what what, exactly, brings this POSPOTUS down. As long as it happens, I’m good, baby. It’s gonna be brutal for the left, and NOBODY will save them, not even Hitlery.

If you have the stomach to watch the clip… When Chrissy comments on the Taliban around 0:29 there is one word obviously missing from his description of why they fight or the code they live by. They are Islamists.

True. He also fails to note that his description of the Taliban is not dissimilar to that of the left here, in the United States. The left is kind of a Taliban light. Isn’t it ironic. Dontcha think? But we’ll take what we can get — again, to reach as many low-fo’s with something, anything, that’ll bring down this POSPOTUS.

Mathews seems at the end to stupidly assume that this deserter had to be retrieved at any cost. How brainless: if your deadly enemy offers you only one option you have to take it? You’d think a dead Bergdahl is the worst thing in the world – these idiots can’t imagine worse?

Ironic how Matthews is worried about people who inflict a dictated moral code on others.

Because that is exactly what is happening right here in America. And with less historical precedent for their dictated made-up moral code. This brand spanking new moral code we are all supposed to be following, under threat of life destruction, has no history to base any expectation of success upon! It’s all the whim of the moment!

People whose morals arrived in a box from Amazon just this morning, simply have nothing of interest to say.
